Photos from old family albums can be gold. Here's a prime example from Sarah Eva Howe's scrapbooks. Thanks to someone who long ago wrote
names at the bottom of this charming image, we know the boy on the left is
Bob Salyers (1880-1897). On the right is Bob's big brother
Will Salyers (1878-1944), who would grow up to be Sarah's husband. Both were sons of Charles David Salyers and Katherine King Salyers of Carrollton, Carroll County, Kentucky. Other family photos confirm this.
I believe the little girl is
Ida Ruth Salyers, a first cousin to the boys, daughter of their uncle
William Levi Salyers (1860-1922) and
Susie Giltner Salyers.
The next image came to me from Bill Davis of Carrollton. He reports that his brother lives in this house on Highland Avenue, next to the funeral home. The house was once home to Charles D.
Salyers. What a treat to have this image.
